Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of the assignment fits that of an inpatriate, which is an assignment where a manager from a foreign subsidiary is brought to the headquarters or another subsidiary in the home country. This allows for the manager to gain experience without having to uproot their family and move abroad. The other options do not fit the description as well. A virtual expatriate is someone who works remotely for a foreign subsidiary, a third country national is an employee of a subsidiary located in a country other than their own, and contingency refers to the plan of action in case of an unexpected event.
